qtcreator-2.4.1     Qt Creator IDE and tools

interestingly I found that on my 386 machine qtcreator version is 2.0.1 but qt4 version 4.7.4
Not sure at the moment how I managed to fetch an old version of qtcreator... which seems to work without the MIT_SHM problem.
I checked and 2.4.1 is whats on 368/latest packages.
